Note
1. The contents in the dotted line boxes are the water-cooled unit and air-cooled unit condenser schematic diagram that divided
by the cooling mode of the refrigerant system. Select the corresponding pipe connection according to the actual type in use, thedashed lines are for pipe connection at site, * components can be selected according to the actual requirements.
2. High pressure sensor is used for water-cooled or glycol-cooled unit only.
3. Single source cooling system does not contain the chilled water pipe system, and meanwhile, the low pressure sensor isreplaced with the low pressure switch on the side of the refrigerant.
2.3.2 System Installation Illustration
The installation modes of the air-cooled series unit are shown in Figure 2-8 and Figure 2-9.
Note
1. If the condenser is installed higher than the compressor (see Figure 2-8), a back bend should be fitted to the discharge line andliquid line of the condenser, so as to prevent the liquid refrigerant from flowing back when the condenser stops.
2. The top end of the back bend must be installed higher than the highest copper pipe of the condenser.

2.4 Installing Indoor Unit
2.4.1 Equipment Room Requirement
The requirements of the equipment room are as follows:
1. Damp proof and heat preservation work must be well done to make sure that the environment control
system in the air conditioner room can operate normally.
2. The equipment room should have good heat insulation and sealed damp proof layer. The damp proof layer
of the ceiling and walls must use polyethylene film, and the coating of the concrete wall and the floor must be
damp proof.
3. The outdoor air that enters the equipment room should be reduced to a minimum, better below 5% of thetotal indoor airflow, as it may increase the load of heating, cooling, humidifying and dehumidification of the
system.
4. All the doors and windows should be closed and the openings should be as narrow as possible.
2.4.2 Installation Space
Note
The air conditioner can generate condensate, which may be leakage due to the incorrect installation or use. Do not install it in the
vicinity of any precision equipment so as to maintain the normal operation, and the installation site must provide drain pipes.
1. To ensure normal operation, adequate installation space for the indoor unit must be provided.
2. Avoid locating the indoor unit in confined areas, which can baffle the airflow, shorten the cooling cycle and
result in down-draft and air noise.
3. Avoid locating the indoor unit in a concave or at the end of a long and narrow room.
4. Avoid locating multiple indoor units close to each other. That can result in crossing air patterns,
unbalanced load and competitive operation.
5. For the convenience of daily maintenance, do not install other devices (such as smoke detector) over the
cabinet.

Note :
1. The space is provided for regular maintenance, such as replacing strainer, adjusting fan, cleaning infared humidifier.
2 *. They are the maintenance space when the water-cooled unit connects water pipes on side or when the air-cooled unit
connects the refrigerant pipes on side. If the water pipes or refrigerant pipes are laid on the bottom of the unit, no
maintenance space is required
Note
For special applications, please consult Emerson.

2.4.4 Installation Procedures
The installation procedures of the indoor unit are as follows:
1. Make a mounting base according to the dimensions in Figure 2-22, Figure 2-23 and Figure 2-24, and the
requirements in Table 2-4. Emerson can supply a range of mounting bases to suit the required height.
2. Lay a layer of rubber cushion on the top, lateral of the mounting base and on the bottom of the steel plate
respectively. See Figure 2-22, Figure 2-23 and Figure 2-24 for their positions and see Table 2-4 for the
thickness.
3. Determine the installation position. Fix the mounting base onto the mounting position according to the site
conditions and user’s requirement.
4. Fix the air conditioner cabinet onto the mounting base with nuts, spring washers, flat washers and bolts.

2.5 Installing Outdoor Unit
This outdoor unit is only applicable to the air-cooled series air conditioner. For detailed installation, refer to
Liebert PEX Condenser User Manual .
2.6 Piping
2.6.1 Piping For Air-Cooled Unit
All joints of the cooling pipes must be silver-brazed. Standard industry procedures must be followed in
selecting, laying, and fixing the pipes, and evacuating the system and charging refrigerant. Take pipeline
pressure drop, oil return to the compressor and minimization of noise and vibration into consideration during
design and construction.
General
The recommended pipe sizes are ‘equivalent lengths’ (see Table 2-6 for equivalent lengths of partial
components), with the resistance caused by bends taken into account. The installer should confirm that the
sizes are appropriate for the site conditions.
1. If the one-way equivalent length exceeds 30m, or if the vertical distance between indoor unit and outdoor
unit exceeds the values in Table 2-5, consult Emerson before installation to confirm whether a pipe extension
kit is needed.

Connecting pipes
The pipes to be connected include:1. Condensate drain pipe of indoor unit
2. Water inlet pipe for infrared humidifier
3. Connection copper pipe (discharge pipe and liquid pipe for air-cooled system) between indoor unit and
outdoor unit
4. Water inlet and outlet pipe of the chilled water (dual cooling unit)
5. Pipe extension kit (optional)
Connecting condensate drain pipe of indoor unit
The condensate of infrared humidifier and evaporator is converged by a cross connector and drained through
the drain pipe, as shown in Figure 2-25. The pipe OD is 25mm. If the drain pipe is used by three or more units,
the minimal pipe OD should be 40mm.
Note
Because the infrared humidifier contains flowing hot water, the water pipe must be resistant to heat higher than 90°C.

Note
1. A 25 hose clamp is delivered as an accessory to connect the drain pipe.
2. When connecting the drain pipe, you must make sure that the U bend is installed vertically and the ‘U’ shape is not distorted,
so as to ensure that the condensate can be drained immediately and effectively.
Connecting water inlet pipe of infrared humidifier
Water pipes should be connected for the infrared humidifier. To facilitate maintenance, an isolation valve
should be fitted to the water inlet pipe. The infrared humidifier reserves a copper pipe (OD: 6.35mm), as
shown in Figure 2-26. There is a 1/4” copper nut at the end of the copper pipe. Take out the 1/4” × 1/2”
conversion copper thread connector from the accessory bag and connect it to the copper nut. You can also
choose the connection method to connect pipes according to the site condition. Make sure that the
connection is well sealed to prevent leakage. The main pipe pressure should be between 100kPa ~ 700kPa.

Connecting connection copper pipes (discharge pipe and liquid pipe) between indoor unit and outdoor
unit
The indoor unit and outdoor unit are connected through welded copper pipes. The connection ball valves of
the discharge pipe/liquid pipe of indoor unit are shown in Figure 2-27 and Figure 2-28. Note that the ball valve
must be wrapped with a wet cloth before welding. In addition, many notes and instruction labels are pasted
onto the base and side panel close to the ball valve. Protect them from heat burned during the welding
operation.
NoteThe exposure time of system pipes do not exceed 15min. Longer exposure will lead to the POE refrigeration oil being affected
with moisture, which can affect the life of the key components and the stability of the system operation. Especially note that thecompressor and the corresponding expansion valve of the dual refrigerant system unit should be located at both sides of the unit.
For example, you face the unit front door, No.1 system compressor is on the left hand side, while the expansion valve thatcorresponds to No.1 compressor is on the right hand side. Similarly No.2 system compressor is on the right hand side, while theexpansion valve that corresponds to the No.2 compressor is on the left hand side.
Horizontal sections of the discharge pipes should be sloped downward from the compressor, with a slope of
at least 1:200 (5mm down for each 1m run). The discharge pipes should be insulated where they are routed in
the conditioned space (including under a raised floor).
The pressure drop should not exceed 40kPa (5psi ~6psi), provided that there is no loss of refrigeration in the
liquid return pipe. The pressure drop of the liquid return pipe is the sum of liquid flow resistance from thetubing and fitting (including filter drier), plus the loss of head pressure due to elevation above the condenser.
If the liquid temperature is 38°C, the static pressure loss is 11kPa (1.6 psi) per meter of lift.

Connecting water inlet and outlet pipe of the chilled water (dual cooling unit)
The water inlet and outlet pipe of the chilled water is connected to the chilled water unit through welding. The
inlet and outlet pipe of the chilled water should be welded according to the unit rack labelling, do not reversethe connection. The water inlet and outlet pipe of the chilled water can be connected from the base pallet or
side panel, see the cutout positions schematic diagram of the base pallet and side panel for pipe entry
position (see Figure 2-17, Figure 2-18, Figure 2-20). There should be a flexible connector for water inlet and
outlet pipe and unit connection. The water inlet pipe must be installed with a strainer more than 60 mesh. The
water inlet and outlet pipe of the chilled water should be installed more than one isolation valve, so as to cut
off the power upon repair. One of the isolation valves can be a balancing valve. The chilled water system with
a balancing valve has higher efficiency, and can control the water distribution more accurately.
Installing pipe extension kit (for site installation)
When the equivalent length of the one-way pipe exceeds 30m, the pipe extension kit should be installed.
During the installation of the pipe extension kit, to avoid the pipe opening, it is recommended to install the
solenoid valve of the pipe extension kit onto the outside project pipe of the ball valve on the liquid pipe. The
outer side or the bottom of the unit is allowable.
So, during installing the solenoid valve, you do not need to cut the indoor unit pipes. After the whole system
is installed, you can open the ball valve to keep pressure and carry out the vacuum operation, avoiding the
moisture absorption of the compressor refrigeration oil and ensuring the operation safety and life of the
compressor. For the installation position of the check valve, refer to Figure 2-6.
For the electrical connections of the pipe extension kit, refer to 3.2.4 Connecting Solenoid Valve Of Pipe
Extension Kit (Options, For Site Installation).
Charging refrigerant and adding refrigerant oil
1. Charging refrigerant
The Liebert PEX air-cooled series air conditioner has been charged in the factory with 2bar nitrogen.
If the connection pipe between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is longer than 10m, refill the refrigerant to
the system to ensure normal system operation.
The refilling amount of the refrigerant is calculated through the following formula:
Refrigerant refilling amount (kg) = refrigerant refilling amount per unit length of liquid pipe (kg/m) × total
length of extended liquid pipe (m)
See Table 2-8 for refrigerant refilling amount of per meter liquid pipe.
Total length of extended liquid pipe (m) = Total length of liquid pipe (m) - 10m
Table 2-8 Refrigerant refilling amount per unit length of liquid pipe with different ODs
Liquid pipe OD

12.7 0.112 22 0.362
16 0.181 28.6 0.618
For the refrigerant charge quantity, refer to step 5 in 4.2.2 Commissioning Procedures.
2. Adding POE refrigerant oil
The refilled refrigerant will dilute the POE refrigerant oil in the system and affect the lubricating and cooling
effects of the POE refrigerant oil. Therefore, the POE refrigerant oil should be added. See the formula below:
Amount of refrigerant oil (ml) to be added = refrigerant refilling amount (kg) × 22.6
2.6.2 Piping For Water-Cooled Unit
Each cooling system uses a BPHE (or condenser) and an electric valve. The water supply (inlet) pipe and
water return (outlet) pipe of the cooling water should be connected for the system. See Figure 2-29.
A filter (filter mesh: 1mm) and multiple isolation valves should be mounted one side of the water supply pipe
of the cooling water. One of the valves can be a balancing valve.

Liebert PEX Series Air Conditioner User Manual
The cooling water system with a balancing valve can control the water distribution more accurately and its
pump has higher efficiency. On the other hand, the electric valve can keep the optimal condensing
temperature by regulating the internal water flow.
The electric actuator of the regulating valve features a manual override to allow water side balancing by the
installer.
It is recommended to arrange the cooling water pipes separately for different systems, so that repairing one
pipe will not affect the operation of the other one.
The water pressure should be high enough to counteract the pressure drops brought about by all the
components of the water system. In addition, because the sediments and impurities cause more pressure
drop after long term operation, you should arrange a redundancy of 20% ~ 25% when selecting the lifting part
(such as pump).
See Figure 2-6 and Figure 2-7 for the system arrangement of the water-cooled unit.
